KHULLU
In the vast expanse of the Tibetan Plateau, the rhythm of life is dictated by the alternation of day and night, the changing of seasons, and the migration of pastures. The nomads and their yaks have long become one, existing together between heaven and earth, wandering across this boundless wilderness as one.
Khullu is the ultimate embodiment of the nomadic spirit — it is the soft undercoat of the yak, carefully gathered and handwoven into the herder’s clothing or sewn into the tents. Through generations of migration, it has not only provided warmth to the herders but also brought the freedom to roam and a deep connection with the land.
Before dawn, the herder leads his yaks into the deep valley grasslands. The wind stirs the corners of the black tent, and the air is filled with the milky aroma of butter tea, the herbal scent of Tibetan incense, and the faint smoke of a burning fire. It is the first breath of the earth before it awakens, carrying the raw texture of life.

DRYDOWN
Hay, yak butter, musk
Like a cup of warm butter tea
inside a black tent,
a rising heat of spice
laced with primal wilderness.
A fire catches;
fragrant incense smoke
curls upward through stillness
as sacred woods crackle
in the highland dusk.
The scent of yak fur,
soft, creamy, animalic
mingles with dry grass
beneath the open wild.
A grounded, skin-close trail,
intimate, raw,
and quietly powerful.
Nomadic freedom, united with nature.
No bricks to bind, no boundaries to hold.
The nomads stitch threads into the wilderness
between grassland and snow peaks.
